Professor Filip Braet
Sydney Node Director, Microscopy Australia (MA)
Professor of Structural Cell Biology, School of Medical Sciences (SoMS) | Molecular Biomedicine
Faculty of Medicine and Health (FMH)
Filip is Academic Director of Sydney Microscopy & Microanalysis, Co-Director of the Australian Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis and Sydney Node Director of Microscopy Australia all based at The University of Sydney. He also holds an academic position as Professor of Structural Cell Biology within the Molecular Biomedicine Research Theme in the School of Medical Sciences. His direct research interests cover the areas of structural cell biology, cancer biology, vascular biology, chemical biology and nanobiotechnology. He has 35 years of research experience as a cell biologist and histologist, specialising in the application and development of correlative microscopy methods and associated biomolecular labelling techniques to unravel structure-function relationships that cannot be addressed through conventional microscopy approaches. Through the use of these innovative approaches to bio-imaging, Filip has contributed significantly to the understanding of cancer cell motility and tumour drug-resistance, and unlocked various aspects of transendothelial transport mechanisms in liver, colon, kidney and pancreas.
